Over the last few weeks we have enjoyed musical offerings in a number of ways: final solo performance submissions, a very varied tutors concert and the Arts Awards evening, where parents came to support girls who were receiving recognition for special contributions to the Performing Arts in Drama, Public Speaking and Music. Senior Music students provided a selection of musical items and the premier awards went to Kristen Stewart and Nicole Petrove, Actor and Musician of the Year respectively. Final rehearsals for most of our ensembles will happen over the next few weeks as we prepare for our Carol Services and Prizegivings. All in all this has been a very satisfying year for Music and the Performing Arts in general at QMC, and we are all looking forward to a refreshing break and some more musical mountains to scale in 2012.
